easy Q1 of 15
General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following is the correct altitude range for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites?
A200 to 2,000 km
B35,786 km
C2,000 to 35,786 km
DBelow 100 km
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand satellite orbit classifications

    Satellites are classified by their altitude: LEO, MEO, GEO, etc.
  2. Step 2: Recall altitude ranges

    Low Earth Orbit satellites orbit between approximately 200 km and 2,000 km above Earth’s surface.
  3. Final Answer:

    200 to 2,000 km → Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    LEO altitude range = 200 to 2,000 km ✅
Quick Trick: LEO satellites are close to Earth, typically under 2,000 km altitude.
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing GEO altitude (35,786 km) with LEO altitude.
